In my 40s, will my skin ever be the same again

Since reaching my mid 40s my skin has totally changed
It's dehydrated, dull and saggy, with crepey eyes
I want hydration, a glow and plump skin

What do you use that helps you?
What can give me back my glow?
What can help my dehydrated eyes?

I really don't believe any skin care works.

I've had Botox and fibroblast and it's taken 5 years off me. My eyes are better than pics 6 years ago.

OP I only use a little Vaseline around the eyes and it doesn't make them puffy. If you prefer not, I think Boots eye creams are pretty ok.

If you're using face acids you do have to commit to using religiously. Look up info on the particular one you're using & which type is best for your skin. Put it on at night not in the daytime & at first, normally 2-3 times a week only. If you're using acids you have to use a good suncream too - every day.

'Nivea UV Face 0% White Residue Anti-Age & Anti-Pigments Cream SPF50' is what I use as sunscreen, can get it online but it's cheaper in Sainsburys although not sure if they stock it in Winter. When it's there I buy 3 at a time. It's not too heavy and doesn't leave a 'cast' on your skin at all.

Drink enough water get enough sleep, and wear a good Primer if wearing makeup. W7 Camera Ready is £5-ish and one of the best I've used. Aside from all that, whatever the age looked after skin looks good anyway
